Palm Beach Today 2005 by Suzae Chevalier

In 2005 I had found–

a duplex in West Palm

close to downtown.

I went a cross the bridge

To work for Michael’s café-

Ended up working for

Palm Beach Today.

I started out stuffing their

Newspapers with big colorful ads

Then Ron wanted me

To take photographs.

My first assignment

Was the Palm Beach Pet Parade—

Dogs and owners dressed

in costumes looking

cool in the shade.

Photos in the Gucci Courtyard

Were interesting and fun

I took a photo of a lady and her

Dog kissing towards the sun.

That photo landed me the job

The job of being a photographer

With the hob knobs.

I went to the Breakers Hotel

shot Schumacher’s trunk show.

Schumacher family

sales the Chevy cars-

The Shiny Sheet photographers

were on me, not very far.

I placed Kanaris and bride

to be–

on curving staircase

Kanaris wedding

engagement party-

photos I took were

very interesting.

At the Mara-A-Largo Club

is where I photographed

celebrities.

It was a fascinating

4 months in time

some places I visited

were very sublime.
